Tickets and merch in one engine
Selling concert tickets Friday and tour merch Monday should not mean two platforms, two fees, and two admin logins.
What this is
One NitroCart VPS toggles between Tickets format (seating, dates, printable tickets) and Catalog format (merch SKUs) via Render setting — one license, one ops flow.
How it works in NitroCart
- Tickets format: sectors, rows, seats, event dates.
- Catalog format: T-shirts, posters, bundles after the show.
- Render setting: switch formats without redeploy.
- Telegram notifications: orders from both formats ping the same group.
Who it is for
- Concert promoters and festival organizers.
- Sports venues with seat sales plus team merch.
- Theater companies selling tickets and program books.
Workflow
- Configure Tickets format with seating map before on-sale.
- Run ticket sales through checkout and Telegram alerts.
- After the event, switch Render setting to catalog.
- Add merch SKUs and homepage promo blocks.
- Email buyers or retarget with merch offers on same domain.
